if we had a choice to invest in IPO or ICO, I think many would choose the first option, since this is a more reliable investment.

As we all heard about IPO (Initial Public Offering) and ICO (Initial Coin Offering). Let us discuss the difference between them. Will ICO take place of IPO in near future???
I think it will take long time for ico to replace ipo. After all cryptocurrency is not totally legal and not enough laws accordingly.

No ICO can never replace IPO, it is totally different thing, if you joining IPO you make a commitment with the company you invested in, you own a part of the company, you become part of it, you can vote on what the company should do or should not do next. While on ICO, you just buy a coin from, and nothing happend, except you want to use your coin/token in the platform, all you need to do is just leave the coins in your wallet, and wait for the price to raise up.

ico is very familiar with investors and what is ipo? IPO is the initial public offering. A company can raise money by issuing debt or equity. For the first time, companies that raise capital from the public by issuing shares are called IPOs.

It's easier to go the ICO way in the crypto world, this is because these projects or companies don't owe you nothing as they clearly state in their whitepaper. They are not answerable to no one. They could just go under overnight and "life goes on". This is not the same for IPOs. Companies issuing IPOs are mostly very established and they usually satisfy certain requirements of regulating authorities. With IPO's, as an investor you own part of the company as a shareholder, you can vote and be voted for, you're entitled to dividends, etc

The most obvious difference between IPOs and ICOs is that the IPO must collect it if it has to go through many regulations such as government agencies, financial institutions, permits and this is also not acceptable later. While the ICO is simpler and easier without unusual rules such as an IPO and can be followed by a unique search, there is no minimum limit for investing in the ICO.

I Think it will not. There are so much examples when projects scammed after collecting money during ico. If we want to exclude such situations, then we need a government regulation. But who likes government regulation, huh?

If ICO will create security tokens, this will erase borders between them. Now almost all ICO this is just utility tokens, that won't give you part of profits for holding. IMHO they can replace but they all must become security.

if too many ICO scams are likely to be reduced by the ICO investors and will turn to the IPO. because the IPO is definitely anti-scam and clearly even though the profit is not as big as the ICO

As long as SEC classify most of these ICOs as security then there is no difference between the two, it is just that we are trying to play with words, P is for "public" and C is for "Coin". It is very unfair to try to define these terms to suit out own claim until the government come out with regulations to clear the air

IPO is usually done in conjunction with stock exchange while ICO is done in the cryptocurrency market. As far as I know, no company can launch an IPO without first proving its worth and without passing all the legal requirements set out in the law so as to protect the investors. While in ICO being under an unregulated and decentralized platform anybody can launch an ICO anytime anywhere....a situation opening floodgates to scammers and frauds. When you buy an IPO you are basically buying a stock of the company and therefore entitled for company dividends now the same thing could not be true with ICO otherwise the project can be flagged as selling security and can be against the law. I am then hoping that soon we can see ICO evolving and advancing so that we can weed out scammers and that investors are not only protected but can be earning something out of the money they invested even if the value of the ICO is going down in crypto-exchanges. i did not know about this difference so thank you for explaining it to us. therefore i am wondering now why have we let all those ICOs to get easy money from all of us without the evidence of a good final product?

I will say this is an inevitability, but let me explain further. Currently, most ICOs are little more than utility tokens-holder has no rights to shares which result in dividends etc. What you will see over the coming years are tokenized securities making their way into this space, essentially allowing companies to issue shares in a decentralized and secure manner (via blockchain) there are some examples of security tokens out there today but they are a few. Keep an eye out for new platforms like Mobu and CDRX which are gearing up for this eventuality. I j fully believe the traditional equity markets will shift to blockchain, I just feel a lot of regulation will come before it happens on a large scale. The advantages of blockchain have been proven, just the process is not straight forward or regulated enough yet.

add to everything else ITO
Initial Token Offering
This name is valid for all projects that release a token
Comparison with IPO is inappropriate, as it has legal force in contrast to ICO

The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a strategy excited by the cryptographic cash improvement. It is a strategy for crowdfunding for the new organizations, which joins making and pitching tokens to finance the begin and the advancement of a venture. ICOs are related to the blockchain innovation. The Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a settled in method driven by an exclusive business in order to stretch out and end up being exchanged on an open market. It incorporates a couple of traditions in the term of the methodology. Initial public offering suggests the all-inclusive community freedom of the offers of an association, with the target of social event resources for development. These are the reason ICO is superior to IPO:- ICO is to raise resources for the endeavor and enter the market, and the ICO is commonly performed by the novices
- ICOs are not confined to any legitimate report.
- In the ICO methodology, associations mustn't have notoriety or any regulatory framework. Most ICOs have just a white paper that isn't essential.
- The range of an ICO as a general rule takes as long as multi-month.
- ICOs are opened for anyone. All you require is the cash of Bitcoin or Ether which you will change over into the token of the particular ICO./li]
